Waters with a successful surgery: ‘It’s not the end of the world’

Todd Waters, from HRC suffered a crash in the qualifying for Latvia’s MXGP, which left him with body marks. A broken collarbone and a visit to the hospital after and the rider is already recovering.

The rider had surgery in Riga to stabilize the fracture of the right collarbone. In a statement Honda explains that a metal plate was inserted in place and attached to the bone with eight screws.

The rider starts the next part of the recovery in the Netherlands, before he can return to active duty:

– It’s the collarbone, so it’s not the end of the world; it has happened to me before and we have a strong programme in place to get back to racing as soon as possible. The team has been so supportive all along as they came to visit more than once to make sure everything was under control. This is nice: it makes me feel at home and welcome in the Honda family.
